When I was a kid for a short time I used to believe that the world only existed for only as far as I could see. I thought that aliens were creating the world around me just to watch me and see what I was doing. There was a period in my life when I was a very wierd kid.

When i was younger i used to tell every one that i was really an alien and was swapped with an identical "person" when i was little and came to earth. Mum always used to ask how i remembered everything from before i arrived and i told her "of course i did, cause how obvious would it be otherwise and we couldnt go letting every one else know my secret ;)"
I told so many ppl this i fully beleive it myself before too long and was quiet dissapointed when i was reminded of this story when i was older and realised it couldnt be true :(
I used to think that all the human beings in the world had died in some huge accident caused by aliens, and that my parents and everyone I knew were actually aliens who had taken on human form to care for me because they felt bad about having blown everyone up. However, I thought it was tiring for the aliens to remain in human form, and that they would turn back into their alien form every time I lost sight of them. So, I would spend a lot of time running back around corners and spinning around trying to catch a glimpse of the aliens before they noticed I could see them. However, I never caught them out, and I eventually decided that they had set it up so that my looking at them was what made them turn back into human form. That way, they didn't have to think about it.

I used to believe my dolls came to life when I wasn't looking. I would always try to sneak up on them to catch them moving around.
When I was a child, 5-7 age, I HAD to turn all the heads around on my dolls,at night, as I thought they 'watched' me as I slept.
They actually frightened me, and I had no scary movies to varify that.
Never was crazy about dolls
When i was younger i used to believe that you needed passwords for everything!like walking though ur house or a door??!?one of my passwords was gwockamoley! strange child!
Brother, saw seen too many westerns were people got lassoed and then pulled off onto their bottoms. So one day, believing this always worked, tried to lasso me off my bike as we played. The next day my parents got called into my school to be questioned about the rope burn around my neck and the bump on my head.
When I was about 8 years old I used to collect He-Man figures. I had a ton of them. One day Skeletor's (the anti-hero) legs came off. So in order to be fair I decided to rip the legs off of all the other He-Man figures. On a subsequent visit to Toys-R-Us I begged my Dad to buy this figure I didn't have yet. After much pleading he eventually acquiesced and bought it. As soon as we got home I went up to my room, took him out of the package, and proceded to rip his legs off. My Dad looked on in astonishment. "That toy is brand new. What are you doing?", he exclaimed. I responed quite earnestly, "All my other He-man toys have no legs, it wouldn't be fair if he did."
well when i was younger maybe 9 or 10 i used to believe that i was the only one in the world and that everyone else was fake and that they only excisted when i was around.. and when i would use the phone i wouln't be talking to them it would just be their voice ..
When I was little I used to believe I was from the planet Xenos and was born from a unicorn, and was brought to Earth in a space ship and was a honorable rescuer of deer on the planet Xenos.
Not really a belief, maybe it is. When I was little I used to pee underneath my slide in the backyard, because I thought that if i went inside, my outdoor toys (slide, swings, sandbox, etc.) would vanish.
When I was a little girl I went through a period of time thinking that people didn't exist anymore when I couldn't see them (for example, when they would step out of the room or as soon as they were out of MY eyesight). Then they would magically reappear when God wanted them to come and interact with me again.
I thought I was the only "real" person in the world and everyone else was just there because either God didn't want me to be alone so he created "fake" people to take care of me, or they were part of my imagination.

My best friend convinced me when I was five that we could drive to Christmas in a toy firetruck. This was a very exciting concept.

I used to believe my stuffed animals had feelings and would cry whenever they accidently got sat on or my sisters would torment them
I used to think that my teddies would come to life if I wanted them to so i used to play my recorder in a sort of snake charmer tune (made up on the spot obviously) to try to intice them to come to life..once i swear i heard one of them talk...or maybe it was my cat meowing
when i was ikkle i used to believe that if i pretended to be a mouse for long enough, i would actually become one. So everytime i went shopping with my mom, i would scurry around the floor squeaking n nibbling at imaginary food - sad yes
When I was little, my sister and aunt and I were spending the night with my great grandmother. When we went to bed, she told us not to sleep with plastic dolls because the devil would get inside of them and kill us while we were sleeping. In fact, she said that is what happened to her sister.
So, my sister and I would never play with Barbies or other such dolls. We would take turns putting them in the closet at night. Then we would become scared that we had hurt their feelings and they would come after us anyway, so we would apologize to them and carefully line them up in the hallway.
My mom never understood why we wouldn't play with the dolls, but she found them lined up outside of our door in the morning. Actually, to this day, I won't let my 2 year old daughter sleep with plastic dolls. Even though I know it isn't true, I still find it creepy.
When I was about 6 or 7 I had one of those dolls that if you lift its arm, its hair grew. Well from that doll, I convinced myself that if I cut my pound purries whiskers that they would grow back, because the hair did on that doll. I cut its whiskers, and when I was done reality hit. I was devestated...I couldn't believe what I did to my pound purrie. I even told the stuffed cat that her whiskers would grow back...it took a lot of convincing of the cat to cut her whiskers in the first place.
i used to believe that this wasn't my real life, but some kind of dress rehearsal of my life. i thought this was great because then i could just go to the real thing and change anything i did wrong in the rehearsal. i don't actually know where i got this from, but then, i was kinda odd.
I used to think that maxi pads were Barbie beds, all of my barbie's slept on nice big cushiony beds. When my big sisters would run out of them they would send me to the corner pharmacy to get them some "Barbie beds"
